'Little Miss Sunshine' star Abigail Breslin wants to be a vet.The 11-year-old actress - who was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in last year's unexpected hit film 'Little Miss Sunshine' - is planning to quit the movie industry to open an animal hospital.She told Britain's The Times newspaper: "I'd really like to be a vet. At the moment I have an Alsatian, a dachshund, a cat and a turtle. "I think elephants are my favourites, although they may be a little bit big for the vet hospital. But never mind, I just love animals."Abigail - who starred as Mel Gibson's daughter Bo in 2002 film 'Signs', and has since acted alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kate Hudson in movies including 'No Reservations' and 'Raising Helen' - isn't the only child actor to already be thinking about a new career path.'The Golden Compass' actress Dakota Blue Richards, 13, recently revealed that even though she starred in one of the most highly-anticipated book adaptations of last year, her heart lies elsewhere.She said: "Honestly, I don't see acting as a full-time job for me. It would get so very lonely, always being away from home, family and friends.
